The Blue Peel is a quick, simple and tolerable treatment, which is considered safer and more effective than many other chemical peels on the market.

When scripting the Blue peel treatment, the patient must pretreat the skin 6 weeks prior to the procedure, using the Obagi Nu-Derm system at home. Once the treated area has ben prepped, the doctor will apply the Blue Peel.

The application is not painful however there is a mild burning sensation, which can be felt between applying the layers. The treated area may be slightly red and feel tight immediately after.

This procedure takes approximately 90 minutes and once completed can leave the treated area with a bluish tint, which can be washed at home over the first 12 to 48hours.

Peeling can occur within the first 3 days post treatment and can last a week or so. This is a natural side effect of cell renewal. The Patient may also experience mild discomfort and slight swelling for up to 7 days. Healing is typically complete within 10 days.

Once the skin has finished peeling, new skin will be slightly pink and will gradually fade over several weeks and you will notice dramatic results of your skin’s appearance over the next 4 to 6 weeks resulting in firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking skin.

It is highly advisable to take a week or so off to recover after the Blue peel. This is partly due to the blue tint that remains on ones skin for a while after the treatment as well as to avoid harmful environmental factors such as UV rays. Sunscreen is a must prior to sun exposure although it is advisable that patients avoid exposure to the sun or UV rays until the healing process is complete.

Your Skin Renewal doctor will advise on how many treatments are necessary to give you your desired results. More commonly between 1 and 3 Blue Peels can achieve dramatic improvements for most skin types and conditions. Peels can be performed at 6 to 8 week intervals until the desired goals are reached.

Beverley was excellent at communicating the various treatments to me, what to be expected during the treatments as well as afterwards at home. This was my first treatment and I look forward to seeing the results!
